Circular Sock Knitting Machine - European simplifications

Still in progress I was too lazy to look for 6mm rod so I modified that to 8 mm. Now I could make whole construction with one size of the rod. Yarn Stand Guide modified for 8mm rod Brass bushings for the pivot and brake were made of a 4mm brass tube from Hornbach, which needs to be pressed inside with a vise. A 3mm hardened rod was used for the axis. Yarn Stand Base modified for 8mm rod Yarn Stand Weight scaled for 8mm rod The bearing housing and crank axis are parts of my lame version of the table. I'm using M8 screw with a hex head as the main crank axis. Rotation is stoped on one side by a hex cap and by a cap with a nut with drilled and tapped hole for the M3 screw.
